The edit is making is very confusing to gather what really happened. Different shots are showing different things!

But that RedBull is very clearly struggling for traction. The gearshifts sound painful. Maybe its the dust on the track or maybe it was the super-cold tyres (by F1 standards) when they had to make the car wait for everyone to be ready for launch.

In the end, the whole exercise comes across as one very hollow show!

Put a 2018 merc or ferrari there and it'll win

A very interesting race. Wonder what would have happened if you had put a supercar like the 720S and maybe even a hypercar.

The Tesla gets a very good start thanks to all the torque but eventually loses out to the F1 car. It's pretty close between the F1 car and the Kawasaki H2R.

If the Red Bull had more grip, it would have been much much closer. Probably would have won the race.

It must have been different attempts all edited into 1 video. The Tesla seems to get a better start than the F1 car in only one or two of the attempts. In some attempts, the F1 car gets a much better start.

Also, some parts of the video show that the fighter jet pilot lifted the nose of the plane, but the final result shows the plane firmly on the ground.

I wonder which attempt was used to show the final result.

One thing to note is that the winner is a young Turkish politician - Kawasaki

No certified sports body actually timed anything!

H2R can be bought in India for 72L.

For those who can't afford so much, H2 can be bought for 34.5L. Or even H2SX from 21.8L.

There's simply nothing else that can come close to this kind of performance, at this kind of price.

Here it does 0 to 400 kmph in 26 seconds -

Seriously, what was the point of this race? Apart from the marketing aspect, didn't prove anything. You didn't even allow the aircraft to take off!! Those machine are meant for the air and not dragged on tarmac.

And for the land machines, the power to weight ratio and acceleration are key. They should have had class separation. The F1 and H2R going together would have been fun
